mekirky asked: Oh my heaven. I just have to say, I loooove chubby guys and I'm so glad there is a male counterpart to all the female chubby fashion pages. I like some eye candy on my feed. Thanks for making this happen. :)

I'm a big girl and I have at least 3 shops that i can visit near me and lots of websites but currently no shops in our area carry any sizes large enough for my man and when it comes to...

Anonymous asked: I work in the Fashion Industry and I am very angry with how hard it is to find nice clothes for bigger guys. even basics like a nice suit or something. Every thing is so bland I agree something needs to be done!! (P.S. I'm a girl)

Just a quick rant.
H&M is coming out with a line geared towards plus-size women called H&M+ which, as far as I know, is an extension of the company’s limited “Big is Beautiful” campaign from this past year. Fantastic, right? WRONG. While I am glad for my female compatriots in the Fatshionista community, I cannot help but feel let down once again. In fact, I find myself asking the same...

Tomorrow is the start of Fatshion February.
Last year, Fatshion February became a thing. It was started by blogger/activist Jessie Dress as an attempt to re-negotiate her relationship with fashion and her life. In the months that passed, Fatshion February helped open the floodgates containing bodies who had something fashionable to display. This year, Jessie Dress is doing the same thing. I ask all of you Swaggerers out there to...

Anonymous asked: After reading your rant about the do you date fat chicks question I wondered if you were a little overly sensitive. Probably the person who asked the question was just curious? I guess you probably didn't mean it like that, but to me it kind of sounds like you feel superior to someone who doesn’t find beauty in every body. Am I a worse person for not finding a certain body type...

Get Custom Jeans at Make Your Own Jeans. →
Courtesy of one of my more favorite websites as of late, Chubstr, I have stumbled upon this article which details a website that caters to the Swaggerers. The site is simply called Make Your Own Jeans and while they specialize in jeans, apparently you can also get custom made shirts, jackets, and vests among other articles. It’s essentially an online tailor that makes clothes based on the...

chunkydunkswimwear asked: Zach, I am opening a store summer 2012 that sells XL+ swimwear for men and women. I've got some preview pics up of the collection, and was hoping you could add me as a resource. We sell size 36"-60". It's located in San Diego, but if I generate enough interest in out-of-town folk I will open for business on the web. Check it out on facebook by looking up 'Chunky Dunk'...

Swaggin' all over the world. Can I just say this...
Shirt was from ‘High and Mighty’, Oxford Street, London. It’s a Superman themed shirt. I had it slightly re-tailored in New Delhi as it was slightly too baggy. Picture was taken on South Andaman Island in India.

Chubby Guy Swag mentioned in a BBC News article on... →
HEY SWAGGERERS! Kate Dailey, a wonderful journalist for BBC News and one of our fellow Swaggerers, wrote a great article on the “fatshion” movement and body acceptance featuring not only Chubby Guy Swag, but also some other prominent figures like Leslie Kinzel and Frances Lockie. Check it out and make sure to give Kate a major shout out. Keep it classy! Zach

emilyyanek asked: I so dig this! I'm a 19 year old girl, I see lotsa blogs for curvy/body image positive women, which I also dig, but SO cool to know guys do the same thing!!! Definitely easy for girls to get so wrapped up in 'perfection,' so it's cool to know we're not alone. For the record, fuck perfection :)

New York Magazine on the prospect of Plus Size... →
Apparently the fashion industry doesn’t see a demand because female plus size models can be sold on the idea that “curves are sexy” and the same doesn’t apply to men. According to one agency, a plus size male model would just mean “beer gut” and they can’t have that. Isn’t this blog living proof that there is a demand for plus size male models?...
